Our landscaping plan for the River House did not include lighting to illuminate the driveway. Cars have headlights, so there was not much motivation to spend money for their benefit. For neighbors visiting on foot, however, the +300-foot walk from the street to our front door can be a little intimidating in the dark. I considered hardwired, fixed lighting, but that only looks good until the first one gets knocked over. Solar lighting fixtures were an option, but some portions of the driveway receive very little sunlight, creating the likelihood that some lights would never get sufficiently charged to stay on for several hours. I am very pleased with the solution I arrived at, one I have never seen used before. I placed an outdoor LED rope typically used to decorate trees or frame houses on one side of the driveway. It is a very low energy solution that is both functional and entertaining (see video above). They are programmed to come on at dusk and turnoff 6 hours later.
